For this is so glorious time of year
Reds and golds I see so clear
Upon the ground where grass was green
Hiding beneath this blanket of leaves.
The air is crisp and brings a chill
And pumpkins sit on window sills
The flowers beds are put to sleep
Hot cider is now our special treat.
This is the season we harvest in
The goodies from our garden bins
So when the air is a biting chill
Hearts are warm, bellies are filled.
So do not grieve the summers end
THE laughter that is gone with the wind...
For in this cozy season of Fall
HEARTS get close and LOVE grows Tall...
A chasm in her soul, so wide,
Where everything beautiful has died,
Her heart has been wrung dry,
So much, she can barely cry.
Meaningless words echo still,
In caverns they were meant to fill.
Apologies being of little worth,
The rhethoric of her hurt.
Sitting on the edge of the world,
Her heart is heavy, though empty
and cold,
Sharp splinters continue to fall,
Slicing her life, her soul,
her all.
came again, gave again, lived
too late, I came to realise
there
is still much pain
I am helpless
sunset, it's just another day
don't look at me or pity me,
I can survive the desert
and the
many storms
I am strong
Sunrise, it's a whole new day......
I met YOU !
You gave and never took a thing,
I half expected you to leave,
You loved and never asked for more
I felt so wanted, I couldn't believe.
With your nuturing strength,
You showed me a beautiful world
With
your warm, sweet smile
You have made me whole.
At last, I can say,
My soul is free,
My heart is singing,
I
can finally be me.
Peering warily from my weathered shroud,
My soul, black and heavy
with
It's burden of remembered pain,
Flinches in the first glare of
love.
Crossroads beckon, their promises beguile;
Waiting for the fabled
white knight,
Fleeing for the rest of my life
Or the endless dark sleep.
I stand in the perennial embrace of the sun,
Blessed by all life has
to offer,
Taking its luminescence and its shadows,
Towards my forever
light.
YOU..........
Let it be not another lie.....
Revelling in my flight this time,
I thought I finally found my star.
That in taking this chance again,
I knew I was far braver.
But a trusting soul will
always have her wings clipped,
For
naivety is never
far from the grave.
Please never lie to me !
It was a gemstone,
bright and sparkley
and infinately seductive
I was drawn, enraptured and trapped
by its brilliance.
It was a gemstone,
and it called to me
and I felt it with every
fibre of my being,
knowing elation for the first time in my life.
It was a gemstone,
and I felt my heart burst when
I thought it
was mine, it became my
purpose, my Hope diamond, my reason for being.
It was a gemstone,
it was my gemstone,
Without no flawed...
It was YOU.......
A warmth that is insidious
and deceptive in its offering
A warmth
that leaves you cold and alone.
I shun this fire and
embrace the river that is solitude
I
submerge myself in it so no-one can see my pain.
I'd burnt bridges to
build this fire and now there was
none that
showed my way home.
I'd let nightmares guide my way
and now they were gone
how do I
fend?
I clung to my cloak
binding it to me, polishing and
refining the
mask I present.
No one must know.
That behind that mask
I am....only me........
White as snow
In early Autumn Leaves!
